Zayne Carrick, Vergere, A'Sharah Hett, Treis Sinde, Lucien Draay, Thon, Vodo-Siosk Bass. Jedi like Quinlan Vos or Corran Horn never did it for me.
Ganner- a very believable story arc in the njo, from kyp disciple, to his interactioms with Corran and Jacen changing him, his injury and how dealing with it matured him and then "None shall Pass!" Corran- a non film Jedi that we really got to know and see develop as a Character, interesting stengths and weaknesses when it comes to force powers and a he could give Han Solo a run for his money in the weird inlaws department(his dad sent his future father in law Kessel, his father in law ends up a civilian owner of Impstar deuce). kyle katarn- the chuck norris of jedi. Owner of the shoulder pad.
Atris: A Self Righteous, Judgemental, Hypocrite. Almost lives up to the high standard set by the Prequel Trilogy Jedi. All joking aside, I was reading the Legacy comics again recently and I feel that Treis Sinde and Azlyn Rae really lived up to the Jedi ideal even though they were Imperial Knights. Sinde was willing to sacrifice himself for the well being of others as he proved when he faced Darth Azard to let the GA pilots escape. He refused to abandon the Mon Calamari during their darkest hour, against the wishes of his sworn Emperor, and even dueling the knight sent to retrieve him until the Jedi assured him that they could take over for him. Sinde also tried to stop Fel from releasing the genocidal poison once the Emperor went crazy at the end of Legacy. He eminds me of the character Davos Seaworth from ASoIaF. Azlyn Rae was also like Sinde in making sure the Imperial Knights conformed to the light side. She was intent on destroying the Muur Tailsmin despite the Emperor's orders to the contrary because she knew that such a weapon would lead the Knights to the Dark Side. She is always willing to do what is morally right over what is easy, a key component to being a good Jedi from my perspective. While these two characters were Imperial Knights, they never forgot that their duty was to serve the Light Side first, which makes them just as much real Jedi as the members of the Main Order.
Zayne. He is not the most powerful, or skilled, or strong in the force, or best with a lightsaber. BUT he has heart and helps people. He is the greatest Jedi because of this. He also gets a space station named after him, so that is cool.
I am a huge fan of Corran Horn. The big appeal to me was that he wasn't ever full on "I want to be a Jedi!" and instead was sort of forced into it because his wife went missing and Luke helped guide him.
Nomi Sunrider - I always liked the idea of her. She was not well versed in the ways of the Jedi until deep into her life. She had a very 'save the person in front of you' attitude. She gave into her anger a couple of times and has suffered great loss. When all is said and done - her daughter and the dying Ulic in my mind restore the cracked individual that survived the war. In the end, I believe it is of this new Nomi who Tionne speaks so highly of. Jaina Solo - I want to be a Jedi. But how? Before the prequels showed us the depths of how younglings are trained, I really only learned from Luke Skywalker's classes. However, more so there is this thing about the Solo children. A kind of 'Jedi Royalty' if you will. Since before their introduction we were told they would be great. And because of who they are it wouldn't just be the dark side of the force tempting them as they do all forcewielders; instead it would be the dark side of the force acting desperate for their turn. Shadow Academy .Yuuzhan Vong War. Beyond. She dealt with herself, her actions, and the chaos surrounding her loved ones. She did not fall. Sword of the Jedi she was. Zayne. Anakin Solo. Mace Windu. I think there are a couple more. But those are off the top of my head. Ulic gets a very special mention. His last arc in the Tales of the Jedi series to me is above all as far as being a Jedi.
While I love Revan, I does not get better than Kyle Katarn. When I was a kid, he was the bees knees! Literally the coolest guy around. Love that shoulder pad.
Corran Horn - I, Jedi is an amazing read, but it was enhancing by the fact that we knew Corran so well from the X-Wing novels. Kyle Katarn - He's just so cool in all his games. Jaina Solo - Her journey through the post-ROTJ is one of the most fascinating in the Legends continuity.
Anakin Solo. I loved that he and Luke were the sort of "reasonable" counterparts to Kyp Durron and Jacen Solo's balls-to-the-wall "right wing" and "left wing" (if you'll pardon the Earth terms) approaches to the war. Luke shared a lot of Jacen's concerns about Jedi aggressiveness and the potential for the dark side, and uncertainty about where their obligations stood towards a Forceless species - but he also never lost sight of the Jedi's obligations to the rest of the galaxy and never let those concerns totally immobilize him or send him to the point where he needed that "I love you but sit down and shut up" speech from Han. Anakin's the same way on the other side. He's proactive, he's frustrated with the more cautious and questioning worldview of people like Jacen & co, and his "yes, of course we have to fight them! Now!" approach is really easy to sympathize with. But he never reaches the point where he's actively tricking Jedi and starfighter pilots into destroying a new Yuuzhan Vong worldship to try and be a hero. (Jacen gets much better especially in "Traitor," but I figured he'd have more defenders).
I have gotta say Kyp Durron. and Zek. and love Mara Jade and how she grew. Also all the mentors like K'kruhk, Wolf Sazen, Zhao.
Jacen Solo-the living Jedi dream Vergere-what else is there to say Ganner-the guardian at the lands of the dead Sar Agorn-because globs of green sentient gas are awesome Empatajayos Brand-the man who finally carried Palpatine back to Chaos
